§ 1. Geographical Character. The district now called Banaz-
Ova is a gently undulating plateau, of irregular shape (approximating
to lozenge form), about 3,000 ft. above sea level. Its boundaries are
clearly marked by Murad-Dagh (Mt. Dindymos) N., Burgas-Dagh E.,
and the broken hills of the Katakekaumene (which separate it from
the valleys of the Hermos and its tributary the Kogamis) W. On
SE. the plain of Eumeneia and Peltai, which is at a lower level, is
clearly separated from it by a low ridge, which stretches from Burgas-
Dagh to Tchal-Daadt. On S. the eastern Tchal-Ova is divided from it
by a branch of Tcbal-Dagh, but the district of Motella, which for
historical and epigraphical reasons has been already treated in the
preceding chapter aloDg with Tchal-Ova (the Hyrgalean Plain),
belongs geographically to the Banaz-Ova, which here sweeps un-
broken down to the edge of the deep Maeander-cahon. I have not
explored the south-western corner of the Banaz-Ova: so far as I have
seen it, the plain inclines downwards towards the great canon to
about the level of 2,000 ft., and the Mossyna mountains sink into
rugged broken countiy amid which the Maeander finds its way in an
exceeding^ bold and magnificent gorge. See pp. 4, 122 f, 208, 236.
